Question 1071891: a high school class is made up of 563 students. there are 103 more girls than boys. how many boys and girls are there?
so far I have x+x+103=563
2x+103=563
2x=460
x=230 number of boys, but do I subtract 103 or 563 to get number of girls

boys=x
girls=x+103
there are 230 boys
girls are x+103, so that is 230+103 or 333
OR 563=230 boys=333.
